Bankruptcy is one of the least envied predicaments one can be in financially. For those close to or at financial ruin, bankruptcy can seem like the best option. While bankruptcy can give a person a fresh start and a reprieve to lots of stress of not being able to pay their debt, bankruptcy is not a choice for everyone. If you are thinking about going bankrupt, you should seriously consider the alternatives before you decide.

Steps
- Understand that many people who are on the verge of bankruptcy have relatively little debt and a few years of belt tightening can repair the debt. For instance, if you are out of work and have debt in the $20K to $50K range, you might want to wait it out. Many people usually bounce back and are able to pay off their outstanding debt in relatively short periods of time. You should never go bankrupt for a situation that has a reasonable chance of repair. You never know, a month down the road you may find a decent job or once again become able to return to work.
- Ask for legitimate delays. If you have become ill, injured or unemployed talk to your creditors and ask for a forbearance for a few months. Many creditors will bite the bullet and allow you a few months to help you get back on your feet. Most people, given a few months off from their loans are able to bounce back and repay their loans without anymore disruptions.
- Try paying a minimum. Defaulting (not paying) is one of the reasons many people go bankrupt. However, if you can, choose to pay the absolute minimum. Send whatever you can. This means if you owe $200 a month on a credit card bill, send the company $10, or anything just to show them that you are still willing to repay the loan, but are in a difficult situation for the moment. This tiny payment can help you keep creditors at bay and willing to work with you.
Tips
- Besides these options above, it is always best to talk to a bankruptcy attorney or non profit organization that can help you personally with your specific situation. Most people have financial difficulties at least once in their lifetime and if you put lots of thought and effort into these problems, many times you can climb out of the debt hole and return to good financial standing.
